Fact is having seen this industry evolve for years if he isn't hired until 2010 the rest of the industry is in for some huge difficulty.
Inflate my sense of self worth?
How is early 2010 so hard for you to believe? It's already early 2008 right now. If they are only hiring 150 this year, he will still be 150 in the pool by this time next year.
If he's #150 in the pool in early 2009, he still will likely have another year to go - unless SWA plans on training many more from the pool in 2009.
So, why is two and a half years in the pool so unrealistic? I've heard it's been that long in the past?
Also, in my opinion only, SWA isn't the airline that it used to be. They won't see the tremendous domestic growth like they have in the past.
